5 Reasons To Love Sunflowers
Callie Capehart

1. They're yellow!

Yellow means creativeness. It inspires original thought and enthusiasm. Yellow does not bring on emotions, instead it challenges your brain to think inquisitively and analytically. Yellow helps you focus and concentrate, which is super important for exam time! The color yellow is uplifting to spirits and gives us optimism and confidence you may otherwise not contain.The golden color ignites curiosity and allows your brain to focus on finer details. It aids you in forming quick decisions and reactions, as it relates to the head instead of the heart. Your heart may be hurting but, your head won't be.

2. They look towards the sun!

Who doesn't love a little bit of sunshine? Sunflowers always follow the light, as should you. They see nothing but the light, literally. When you're looking at the sun you are not focused on the darkness behind you.

3. Sunflowers don't care how quick the flowers surrounding it grow.

Sunflowers do things at their own pace and their own way. Their roots run deep and take in all the water and nourishment they need to grow. Swaying, dancing, and bobbling around in the sunshine without a care is what they do best. They grow very slowly towards the light but, they take all the time they need to grow tall and strong no matter how rapidly the flowers around them grow. We could learn this from them, as most of us are worried about what our neighbors rather than ourselves.

4. Once they open up they're a source of nourishment for others.

When sunflowers are fully grown the open up. When they open up the insects, bees, and even people can get the nourishing gifts the sunflowers give. When they are fully grown all they have to do is be themselves and they attract so many others. Sunflowers grow with everything they have only to give away what they spent so much time growing. People these days don't do that. Sunflowers are not only beautiful but, they are selfless.

5. They grow in crazy conditions.

Sunflowers are strong enough to withstand the hottest and driest summers. That alone means that there must be something magical about them. No matter how hard it gets to find nourishment and grow, they somehow manage to do it anyway. Sunflowers just love to be alive!

Sunflowers are among the most wonderful creations. Beautiful, strong, bright, cheerful, and giving. Putting a bouquet of flowers on your kitchen or bedside table can brighten your mood, help with homework, or just make the room prettier. Sunflowers are truly amazing, what's not to love?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
